I'm Gray Calhoun, an Assistant Professor in the Economics Department at Iowa State. I work on Econometric theory, especially time series and applications to forecasting and forecast evaluation. I graduated with a PhD from UC San Diego in 2009, where I worked with Graham Elliott and Allan Timmermann. My homepage has moved recently, but should stay here for a while.
I teach PhD Econometrics 1 (Economics 671) in the Fall: course page and syllabus for 2012.
I am teaching Principles of Macroeconomics (Econ 102) in Spring, 2013. Course material is on BlackBoard Learn, but the syllabus is on this website as well. This RSS feed has new handouts.
Helle Bunzel and I will teach PhD Macroeconometrics (Economics 674) in Spring, 2013. The syllabus is available here.
Courses before Fall, 2012 are not online. Please contact me if you need material.
Please see my CV for a list of published papers with links.
